Has anyone seen the previews for the upcoming Crocodile Dundee 3 movie? There's one part where he is on a ride (at someplace like Universal Studios) and an animatronic "giant anaconda" comes at him. He stabs it through the head with what looks like his class "big knife". However, in the next scene of the preview, he's seen *folding* said knife!! I mean, this thing has to have a foot-long blade!

Couldn't believe it when I caught it tonight. Anyone else see this? Anyone know what the *heck* that blade is??
 
Saw the preview the other night! It looks like a Buck 110 on steroids!!!!

Yea I just noticed that also! Didn't he have a bowie in the first movie?

I agree that it looks like a Buck 110 beefed WAY up!

I don't know how he deployed that thing so quick since it didn't look like a one-handed opener but someone here will clear it up when they go to the theater.
 
I saw it too. I think that Jim March must have designed the sheath for that thing

because it looked like it opened when he drew it.

I saw a longer preview and his son asked him if he had his knife (the big one) as they're getting on the ride because the "guide" is telling them about the wild animals they might encounter. He says that he wasn't expecting any trouble so he only brought his "small" knife.
 
Despite my claim that this movie is just one long Subaru Outback commercial, I'm going to have to watch it now.
 
And how do you like this sweet little knife?

Spanish "navaja" was historical precursor of current megafolders and gigafolders. In the Middle Ages Spanish peasants were banned to carry swords or large daggers.
Caramba! - they said - These damned hidalgos do not allow us to carry any decent weapon. How could we defend ourselves against highwaymen and occasionally also against hidalgos if they would gone too far?
No tiene importancia! - they said after while of thinking - Let's slightly enlarge our traditional folding knife navaja. Really very slightly, no more than up to about elbow (something between 1,5 ft and 0,5 m). Folded it can still be carried within waistband (medieval Spanish waistbands were pretty wide) and unfolded it matches highwayman's or hidalgo's sword in length. Medieval precursor of modern back lock worked pretty reliably and the problem was solved! Must to take down that this solution was pretty appealing to everyone including also highwaymen and hidalgos, maybe this caused navajas to be so popular in medieval Spain.

This is the short fragment of my coming book clumsily translated in English. Occasionally I would like to illustrate how silly are some law regulations what actually prohibit people in some jurisdictions to carry even 2-inched fixed blades...
 
Sergiusz,

I would like a copy of your book. Drop me an E-mail when you are ready.

Don't forget the Veintenueve aka Super Balisong, the other ancient tactical folder.
